Using a foot pedal for a button?
<< < (3/4) > >>

What if you had two foot buttons wired to the same input and you alternated your feet for faster firing maybe?  No?


Definitely be good exercise while playing.

Like Xiaou2 said, you cannot successfully play DOT with rapid fire.  Go try it now and you'll understand.

I think many of us believe that maybe the foot pedal could be helpful for up/down aiming in DOT.

Another thought for up/down, depending on your control panel setup (and I have not tried this) would be to try mapping buttons that are within reach of your thumb(s).  If you can reach them, a la Defender, they could possibly be used for up/down.

If you simply want a foot pedal fire button for various other games, then by all means continue on.  That could be fun to play.

Well I suppose for that game you could incorporate the buttons into some sort of layout housed in a cushioned pad so you could run frantically on it. Or, inevitably, slap it with your hands.   ;D

Yes, I actually wired up a pedal designed as a Yamaha keyboard sustain pedal (for music) to use with MAME as a foot switch.  I used it for racing games in conjunction with a TT spinner.
